As Colonel Kaddafy (the article describes all the various spellings of his name, transliterated from the Arabic) was in power for 42 years, and his impact was felt far beyond Libya, his Wikipedia page is extensive. There are links to 384 articles, for example. There are detailed descriptions of everything from his early life, his family, his wealth, his wars against his neighbors, his support of international terrorism, how he repressed his people, and so on, as well as links to other Gaddafi related Web sites. The book is extensively illustrated and serves as an excellent bibliography for further study. The story of his death is also included.
